April 2008
The fleet tanker “AEGEAN ANGEL” won the AMVER ASSISTED RESCUE Award during Lloyd’s List Global Awards on 2009, for rescuing the 11-men crew of the Korean flagged cargo vessel “TEL TALE II” who were forced to abandon the ship which was sinking 300 miles south of Puerto Rico on 16 April 2008. The “AEGEAN ANGEL” responded to an AMVER callout and deviated to the scene for providing assistance to the distressed mariners. The “TEL TALE II” crew was safely rescued thanks to the prompt reaction by the crew of AEGEAN ANGEL and communication with AMVER Command Center.
